NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-A Washington
special to the Time, ssys: 1t is interesting
to know, II the report is true, and It comes
from 60 gooda sourceas scarcely to warrant
challenging, that Mr.. Carlisle is tho only
prominent Democrat who now hesitatea
to make a now Chairman for the Commit.
too on Appropriations in place Of Mr..
Randall. Mr.. Carlisle's advisers are men
OF leas legislative experience than he, but
they are also men who care less for what
Mr.. Randall may do II he is relieved from
the burden OF appropriations work and
asked to devote himself to some other
branch Of legislative work, while the
Democrats address themselves to the task
Of revising the tax lists and removing bur.
dens, and while they alao stop the flow OF
money into the Treasury. The Demo-
Gratis who believe that more progress
can be made without Randall than
with him are more numerous now
than they were Oh December IS, 1886,
when Mr.. Randall aud twenty-five other
memhera who were elected as Democrats
fell into the procession behind Major
Mckinley, Of Ohio, aud helped 10 mako q

ority to carry IT, II Mr.. Randall's fol-
lowing, or third OF them, had voted with
the msjority Of Democrats the motion
would have prevailed. The Democrats
who voted to take up revenue bills were
